CHARITY
AAMD Celebrates 25 Year Partnership with Family Homestead
AAMD is proud to mark 2016 as the 25th anniversary of its partnership with Family Homestead , a Denver charity that assists struggling families in transitioning out of homelessness .
Family Homestead was the first organization in Metro Denver to offer independent housing to homeless families and currently places families in 31 emergency and 58 transitional units located in Denver and Jefferson County .
Over the 25 years that AAMD has been involved , it is estimated they have raised over $ 500,000 in funds through its annual Charity Auction that go towards supporting the transitional system through Family Homestead , which has supported an estimated 6,000 families .
Four major fundraising events have been planned for 2016 to capitalize on celebrating 25 years of partnership ! In February , AAMD held the annual Charity Auction that raised $ 20,000 for Family Homestead . In June , AAMD members came together for the annual Spring Clean . More than 200 AAMD members volunteered their time onsite to cleanup , provide maintenance inside the units and various repairs throughout the properties . It is estimated that more than $ 10,000 worth of materials , repairs and cleanup were donated to the needs of the Spring Clean . In August , the Education Advisory Council and Networking Council will be holding a fundraiser at the third annual TechCon to directly benefit Family Homestead . Finally , the net proceeds of the December PowerMixer will be donated to Family Homestead as well .
AAMD is proud to have partnered with Family Homestead for 25 years and looks forward to the opportunity to continue to combine efforts to fight family homelessness in the Metro Denver area !
